PoolSolar is an excellent, pollution-free, and cost-effective way to heat your pool water through the summer months. It works by passing the filtered pool water through strips of solar matting which is heated by the sun’s rays. The matting is pre-fitted to PVC manifolds that are connected to each other. The manifolds must be plumbed directly to the filtration plant. PoolSolar is easy to install on any surface and can be placed on the ground or on a roof. For sloping roofs, optional support kits are available at a low cost. For installations higher than about 4m, a vacuum breaker valve is required, the heating efficiency of PoolSolar is directly related to climatic conditions. Although it works even in cloudy conditions, we do suggest you invest in a backup heating option to give your pool a ‘boost’ as needed.

Please Note:
A sunny position to ensure maximum heat absorption.
A maximum working pressure should not be above 1.5BAR (22psi). A heat retention cover should be used overnight when the pool is not in use.
All pipework must be drained for the winter period.
Your citculation pump must have adequate flow to reach the solar matting at roof level.
The amount of solar matting required depends on your pool size. Under normal conditions you need to use only half the surface area of your pool as the collector surface i.e… a 30′ x 15′ pool is 450 sqft, therefore approximately 225sqft of PoolSolar matting is required.

4 x solar collectors (0.33m wide x 3m long) -4m sq

HOW MANY SOLAR PANELS DO YOU NEED TO HEAT A SWIMMING POOL?

Some pool sizes result in requiring an additional half box, but this is not possible to supply. Therefore, we have shown the minimum and optimum number of rolls required. For above ground swimming pools we have reduced the amount of solar collectors by 20% to allow for heat absorbtion through the steel wall structure.
Note. You will need to purchase enough solar matting to cover 50% of the pool surface area.
In addition, you may also need the following:
- PoolSolar Vacuum Breaker (for installations above 4m high)
- 3 Way Valve
- Roof Support Angle
- Roof Fixing Paste
- Solar Control System
- Booster Pump 0.5hp Aquamite (7000lt/1540gls)
- Booster Pump Sun Sensor
If a heat retention cover is not to be applied overnight you will need to double the quantities below.
